Original separation agreement 2008
Child support, as ruled paid on time. Have been served to request an amendment to the original support order due to my gradual increase in income over the last 4 years. Court date is Aug 14. Also, requesting a payment of upwards on $11,000 in retroactive payments reflecting the difference in amount ordered to pay (as per the tables) & actual owed (income).
Question:
1) Still paying off legal fees/equalization/pay offs, it will be hard enough to pay the extra $200 in support per month, but that is for my children, no problem. However, there is absolutely no way I can come up with $11,000+, what are my options. Is it common for judge to rule in favour of payments going back that far?
2) I have provided NOA's every year as ordered, but no request for increase from Ex before this, so I assumed all is well. Should I just automatically increase support according to tables each year (it's through FRO)?
3) Ex receives child support for our son from myself and his biological father. I pay the full amount I should according to the tables. My lawyer advised in dealing with the original agreement that it wasn't even worth bringing up that she gets support from the biological too. Can I bring it up now? Would that amount be deducted from mine?
Any advise would be welcomed, Thankyou.
